Why does the league protect this Black Mamba? All he does is get away with porking chicks in hotels, getting away with blatent offensive fouls by pushing off to get some room cause he's got no lift anymore, and now he offends the gay community...not to speak about his disrespect to the game/ref....why didn't the ref give him a T for that outburst...he would not have played last night and we would have the same record as them!

Fiercest34, thank you for your technical foul graph, but anyone with common basketball knowledge already knows that Kobe does not mind technicals as the money he is fined goes to very good causes. Kobe even stated this same thing during this season. And when it boils down to it, who really cares about technical fouls unless there is a suspension involved? Seriously...

In Response to Kobe gets away with Murder! : To answer your post,,, Bennie Adams, the referee is questionably gay, and he was not in ear shot of Kobe when Kobe went off. The only reason it is even making news is because TNT had the camera on him when he said it, and also because it is Kobe Bryant, the greatest player on the planet. Anymore questions? Oh yeah, even if the LAKERS and celtics did have the same record, the LAKERS still own the tie breaker because of the better opposing conference record. Now go cry somewhere else.Posted by Tayshawn

It's comments like this that make you an embarassment to good Lakers fans everywhere. YOU are a questionable fan, and a questionable human being - have you heard some of Kobe's comments after games? Last year he told his own teammates to "man up". Kobe Bryant is the best in the game, but not a role model for me or my kids. Please go away before you humiliate the rest of us further!

Apparently you don't think what Kobe said was wrong because you yourself is saying it on a public forum.

In Response to Re: Kobe gets away with Murder! : Talk about class. You Laker trolls are really a bunch of hypocrites! Even when Kobe does something WRONG you guys defend him. Pathetic!Posted by Fiercest34

Kobe got fined 100 Grand. I hardly think that would imply he got away with murder. He said something out of anger and the heat of the moment. It was wrong pure and simple. He got a massive fine for it and rather than get defensive or make excuses he apologized and acknowledged he was wrong. I'd say justice was served, and I hate the man.

I am more upset that the Lakers playing as bad as they are drew probably the weakest playoff team in the league for their first round opponent. Believe me if it was the Grizzlies or the Blazers the Lakers would not make it out of the first round. The Hornets sadly have no chance to beat the Lakers. We will have to wait to the second or third round for that.

Just a quick side note on Kobe that was told to me by a site representative at that time. This gentleman has worked at my home for commercials in the past.

Several years ago Kobe was doing a sprite commercial in a large modern home in the LA area. The head of wardrobe happened to be gay and was selecting the apparel for the commercial based on the director's wishes. Kobe threw a fit in front of the 50 or 60 people there and said " he was not doing no commercial with this queer involved, and I want him out of here."

The apparel head started to cry and was told that someone else would take on the responsibility. It was a very awkward moment but of course Kobe got his way.

Now, as long as it's an educational debate it doesn't bother me. But why are there so many Laker fans posting on this all the time? It's like every discussion has a few of you nay-saying and just being obnoxious. Go on your own discussions, not here!

yea...Lakers are a team that moved from another venue....Celts are an original with 100% history in one location...that's the difference between the yellow belly Laker fans and us true green Celts! Lets do an Irish Jig on Kobe's head!
